(see on map) trin: Kotor's location is what makes it a place worth visiting. On one side is a fjord and the other a steep mountain range covered with ancient fortification walls. Plus, a weird dude who lives up there but we'll get to that later.
Lunch with a couple of feline friends.
Stocking up for our hike up the walls at the daily market just outside the city gates.
Looking back at the city below. On the way up we passed several buildings and chapels built right onto the mountain side.
At the top was a castle-like-fort built during the 15th century. We looked around for a bit until we met a strange man from Macedonia who was living at the top. He was anxious to talk to us but he was odd. It was one of those situations where you could stay for a bit, not be rude and maybe end up having an interesting conversation or trust your instincts and bolt. The deciding factor was when he said, "Don't be scared." I was taught to never trust anyone who tells you this.
Planning the next leg over a couple of cappuccinos which over the course of the trip have been nicknamed Capa C's. Right when you start getting comfortable, you have to start planning again. The logistics are more work than either of us anticipated.
